Drilling in Complex Pore Pressure Regimes: Analysis of Wellbore Stability Applying the Depth of Failure Approach

Drilling in Complex Pore Pressure Regimes: Analysis of Wellbore Stability Applying the Depth of Failure Approach

Most old oil and gas fields worldwide are depleted, making drilling in these sedimentary zones extremely difficult, especially in complex pore pressure regimes when they are accompanied by over-pressure zones. Considering that typical wellbore stability studies provide a conservative mud density cur...
